The week will begin with Mass on Sunday January 27, 2019 at 11:30am. We hope all of our school families will be able to attend and celebrate together!

We are currently seeking student volunteers to be ushers or lectors for this Mass. If you would like your son/daughter to participate, please send an email to Mrs. Smith. In your email, please indicate whether they would like to greet people at the door (usher) or read during the Mass (lector). We are all set with enough students to bring up the gifts at offertory.

Thank you!

Also - if you have holiday-themed plates, napkins, and/or utensils that you don't want to have to pack away, please send them in for lunchroom use! Thanks!

We would like to post your testimonials on our Open House flyer! Please submit your thoughts to Mrs. Smith and let us know if we can include your name or if you prefer to remain anonymous. Thank you!
